The Story Behind Vellum & Vine
Why I Created a Skincare Brand
The $10,000 Problem
I spent over $10,000 on luxury skincare products that promised results. Products with fancy packaging, celebrity endorsements, and price tags that made me believe they had to work.
They didn't.
As a working model and influencer based in Oregon, my skin is my career. I needed something that actually delivered results—not just marketing promises. So I started researching what was actually in these $300 serums I was buying.
What I found shocked me.
The 0.1% vs 9% Discovery
Most luxury brands use only 0.1% active peptides in their formulas—just enough to list it on the label, but nowhere near clinical-strength concentrations.
Real clinical studies use 5-10% peptide concentrations. That's where you actually see the +256% collagen production boost. That's where the results happen.
The luxury brands weren't selling results. They were selling packaging and marketing at an 80% markup.
Why I Built Vellum & Vine
At 18, as a 12th-grade student with entrepreneurial ambitions, I partnered with a co-founder to create what luxury brands wouldn't: honest, clinical-strength skincare at transparent pricing.
We source from RainShadow Labs—the same professional-grade suppliers that formulate for high-end brands. But instead of adding an 80% luxury markup, we sell direct to you.
Our Peptide Complex Serum contains 9% active peptides. That's 90 times more than the industry standard 0.1%. We don't hide behind "proprietary formulas"—we tell you exactly what's in it and why it works.
Professional-Grade, Accessible to Everyone
The same formulas used backstage at modeling agencies. The same clinical concentrations tested in peer-reviewed studies. The same professional results—without the luxury markup.
I created Vellum & Vine because I needed it. Now professional models, agencies, and everyday people who care about their skin trust it too.
Our Commitment
Your skin deserves professional-grade care. Not luxury markups.
